Every time I logged onto a freshly installed Rasbian system (Debian Jessie), I had this message:
The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

Asking for the locale settings would give this:
jeroenp@raspberrypi:~ $ locale

Searching for raspbian jessie “-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)” I found fix locale issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian@543e9b4 [WayBack] that fixes Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian · GitHub [WayBack]:
When logging into to a freshly booted debian jessie image:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
Source: Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian
I changed the crux of that solution to this one:
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
When running, it showed this:
# echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_GB.UTF-8... done
en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
And logging this:
